126-40 149th Street, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family house at 126-40 149th Street in South Ozone Park, owned by Foluso Olasokan, was built in 1999 and has experienced significant heating system issues in early 2021. During January 2021, there were multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water in the building, with three separate 311 service requests filed between January 4-10, all marked as emergency housing maintenance code complaints.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access the building for inspections on two occasions, though one inspection on January 10 did result in violations being issued. The building's heating and hot water issues persisted into mid-2021, with HPD inspections on June 23, 2021, resulting in violations specifically citing problems with hot water fixtures in the second-floor apartment.

These violations, classified as "C" grade, documented the building's failure to provide hot water throughout the affected apartments. While these issues appear to have been addressed by June 2021, as indicated by the certified date of June 29, the frequency and persistence of the heating system problems during this period are notable in the building's history. Since these documented incidents, there have been no further complaints or violations on record through October 2023, though the data may not fully represent the current state as of July 2025.
